im usually at odds with Pirate but im 100% behind him this time. I didnt actually think there was much wrong with JB football/squad wise. We were on the right path, with the style of football, gates improving and getting some exciting players, it wasnt a perfect team but it was getting much better. It was just his off field problems that were the issue. JB got his mates in (scouse mafia et al)and was slated MT is doing exactly the same, lets see how that works out this time because personally i've not got a good feeling. Im just so disappointed in that football is massively about contacts and we appear to get managers and staff that have zero. It feels like Sunday league having a ring round before the match to see if anyone knows anyone. We'll have a team of Exeter players who are no better than what we have now. We need to gamble more take more risks and get some excitement in the club. Is it not such a bad thing to get some Exeter players in. They finished above in the league with some impressive performances and we have struggled against them in recent encounters. For a fan owned club their finances are in better shape than ours and they have made significant improvements to their ground. They even built a successful ladies team. I would see Exeter as an example would should follow. Wouldn't it be fun if we the fans owned Rovers? Some can t play nicely on here, 😂 imagine trying to sign somebody we would never all agree, it would be carnage! We would go through managers every month!

You've articulated my opinions pretty much. I've got my ST for nxt season, but I wonder if it may be my last. it wont be the last and we all know it, all of us on here are bound to this club through some awful curse. it was my mum that started to take me to games at Twerton, many times ive threatened to report her for historic child abuse in making me support Rovers but I cant change it none of us can. Remember we are what makes Rovers - Rovers not the manager, not the owners, and not the players. Ritchie whilst I respect your opinion from Jan last year to the end of the season our home results were atrocious, joe signed some decent players but also a few awful ones, the tippy tappy football with 70 % possession was impressive on paper but the results were dire. Wael gave joe free reign, which the Fleetwood owner did historically, in both cases he spent a lot and for little achievement, joe failed to stop the relegation and got lucky with the Geordie Maradonna, expected him to get more toon youngsters in as a result of that success. Matt is being controlled by the owners, joe would not have stood for their meddling.

I've not even said I'm pro Taylor at the moment, so stop taking out of your backside. I've just said he's done okay previously and that any manager deserves times and a change to build their own squads. I said the same about DC and Barton. It's not just because it's Taylor. Taylor had to cut the budget during the summer and we lost our best player. You could see he could be out of his depth. Yet you thought a coach that had never managed at league level was a good choice. Talk about as massive contradiction!!! The fact is, none of us know how is going to do. He did average at Rotherham considering the budget, but he over achieved at Exeter. Can he over achieve with us??? I don't know, but you don't either. So don't make out you do. Exeter played seen decent football and not just when they played us! They beat Plymouth in a derby 4 0 and were unlucky not to go up in the COVID season. I'm not his biggest fan, I'm just willing to give him a fair change before writing him off. But I know lots of people who are big fans of us. If we have a bad start to the season, then he should go. I will give him 6 games and go from there. Great, let him build a squad and give him 6 games. Genius. 👏 🤣 Pirate whilst I enjoy your posting bar the videos of players which blows up my phone, 😂 we cannot be another Watford they turn over so many managers, and look at Rob Edwards sacked by them performing miracles at Luton. It seems to me he has had to contend with the Liverpool mafia, new owner trying to pick the team, and abuse from fans. Like Daniel we need to give the guy a chance, he s a northerner not flash no stone island, no I've played for Man city and courting attention. His coach gets into a brawl at the sponsors awards night, ffs, let's give him the reduced budget window to assemble a squad and give him until December, I'm not going to dig up posts but you were Ben Garners main sponsor on here for months.......

Will be like the titanic with players and staff scrambling for the boats whilst the fans like the band carry on as it sinks Understand they've got to buy a 15 pound card to exit the building 😂

Coming soon BRFC smart phones 😂🏴☠️ Reg it's a business now, be charging soon for extra time over the 90 minutes. 😂 Reg is retired now...we need to be kind to him. WOULD YOU LIKE A BIG FONT SIZE ON YOUR PHONE REG, SO YOU CAN SEE YOUR TICKET? He'll ignore that Puckle, just like he ignores the bar. 😎🍺 He s a grandfather now, so probably spending it wisely 😂😂🐻🐻

I guess if we are offered £750k for Evo with a year left we should take it. Hope we get some early news of players coming in! Ppersonally think we sold Azza in poor form, Evo was rated like Cantona by the Fleetwood commentary team, send the interested clubs a copy of that match! Think he s worth 1.5 to be honest, but have no confidence unless George Friend deals with it.

GYW if they've signed who are they, not asking for source, I know Hoole is off and educated guess Evo. Evo can’t pre sign anywhere. He’s under contract. Rumour is Bolton, but I appreciate your comment is factually correct.

Today should be the day. Probably won’t in the end. But should be. Hope it lands and who needs to go goes and we can get on with rebuilding. It should be, it was all decided a week ago! Funny thing is everyone saying they hope MT has a good clear out I know of at least 4 players that have already pre-signed elsewhere and cant wait to get out under his management. I don't think people going out the door will be a problem, i think getting half decent players in will be the harder thing as people will want top dollar to come in to this mess. I can see this getting worse before it gets better! Enjoy your summer gas heads! GYW if they've signed who are they, not asking for source, I know Hoole is off and educated guess Evo.

I don’t know why they don’t go the whole hog , and start charging disabled people or women more for a season ticket, why just pick on elderly and people who don’t own a mobile phone. Seems like another own goal from the club the latest in a long list Thank you Tom welcome to the forum we re a friendly bunch, Marshy is at war with the Krays, but overall it's all cool and the gang.

Said it many times ,I think Rovers record of giving youth/development squad players a decent chance to prosper is appalling, i know some on here shout that if they are good enough they should be setting their loans clubs league alight with MOM performances every week, I maintain that good players need other good players alongside them in order to show their real potential, several have shown up very well in pre season friendlies and that's as near as they get to the first team, but playing devils advocate, how many posters rated the Liverpool lad when he was here ? he had plenty of detractors on here , did Liverpool fans spout 'if he aint good enough for Bristol Rovers then he certainly aint good enough for us? yet here he is in playing in a then title chasing Liverpool team. IT will indeed be very disappointing if Greenslade is not given a chance. Agreed, there needs to be a pathway which they seem to be about to address, as why go to our academy.

Hearing that Luca Hoole wants to leave and is obviously out of contract, so best wishes always gave 100 %.

What difference would it have made when virtually nobody will have to pay the £15? I doubt there's one s/t holder who wouldn't have renewed/bought a s/t if they knew the charge was going to be made. Blimey, I find myself agreeing with you. 🤣 You're right, everyone is up in arms but it feels a little like being outraged for the sake of being outraged. There is some seriously 'Professional Offence' being taken by some on this subject. I remember them saying the current cards would work next season, they've changed the goal posts, half the time the man presses the pedal to let me in on my B and q card!😃

Dont write Ollie Hulbert off has offers from league 2 clubs Eric. I’d love some of the released youngsters to prove me (and the club) wrong but invariably they don’t. Hope to see him ripping up League Two next season. I recommended him when he was 8, and scoring 70 goals a season, Lee Msnsell loved him, never had a sniff here, lovely kid, really hope he does well when he gets his move.

Would you still class him as a youth player?? He's 20 now and not looked like breaking into the first team. He's not been great at non league level. At what stage do we release him?? We have players younger than him that might be given a go instead. He’ll prove us wrong by bouncing back and having a glittering EFL career - like Russe, Hargreaves, Hulbert, Tomlinson, Walker etc….. Dont write Ollie Hulbert off has offers from league 2 clubs Eric.

Every season ticket holder should be sent a email explaining this, giving them the opportunity to cancel if they don’t want to pay the £15 (if they don’t have a smartphone). Coming soon BRFC smart phones 😂🏴☠️ Reg it's a business now, be charging soon for extra time over the 90 minutes. 😂

Swear they all sit in the office and think…..hmmm what will pee off the masses today .How about £15 for a card ? Excellent, that’ll work , fire out an email now ! The stewards searching the over 60 s and leaving the Stone islanders walk in unsearched, makes me chuckle, asked one what he was looking for ? He didn't know ffs

Strange that those on this thread who started the rumours about the head butting incident and named the perpetuator are not commenting on reports that the very same individual was in the dugout today and clearly not suspended or sacked. One of these two things is clearly untrue, I wonder which one? Not there today
